The Rangers followed up on the firing of their field manager by doing the same to team president Jon Daniels:

Davis telephoned Daniels on Wednesday morning and fired him, announcing that the franchise is now in the hands of GM Chris Young.

Owner Ray Davis did not pull punches on why he fired Daniels. After praising Daniel’s successes:

“But the bottom line is we have not had a winning record since 2016 and for much of that time, have not been competitive in the AL West division. While I am certain we are heading in the right direction, I feel a change in the leadership of the baseball operations department will be beneficial going forward.

 “Chris Young is one of the top young baseball executives in the business and in his 21 months on the job has brought welcome energy and new ideas to the organization. I am confident in Chris’ ability to lead our baseball operations with the goal of producing a consistent winner on the field.’’

Young gets the opportunity to choose the manager he wants. We’ll see if it makes a difference.
